Prompt type: Build a Scene
Prompt: Write a short piece about the events leading up to or occurring subsequent to passage below. Feel free to modify any gender or terminology (centurion, prefect, overseas, etc) as needed.
I implore your majesty not to allow me, an innocent man, to have been beaten with rods and, my lord, inasmuch as I was unable to complain to the prefect because he was detained by ill-health I have complained in in vain to the beneficiarius and the rest of the centurions of his unit. I accordingly implore your mercifulness not to allow me, a man from overseas and an innocent one, about whose good faith you may inquire, to have been bloodied by rods as if I had committed some crime.
Passage from Alan K. Bowman, Life and Letters on the Roman Frontier, New York: Routledge, 1994, p. 139.
